If the compressor is feeding an air tank, the air tank acts as a volume reservoir, in which case you could easily use it to pressurize the fork.
Back on topic, how did the fork respond after setting the pressure.
Beautifully. The ride is no longer soft and I feel more power going to the ground and not being eaten by the suspension. The lockout is more effective and the ride is much nicer. I also adjusted the rebound to a bit slower setting and it handles the bumps well enough. It's now set to 170psi. My compressor will only pump to 130psi max (single stage) so I would have never been able to reach that point anyhow.
Now I am looking for a nice, small, suspension pump that I can add to my kit.
